I'm going to have to say...Trade it in and get a Smart Car. You need a car that won't get you into trouble with phantom crazy people.

testing the car's performance out on curvy roads right after you bought it is a recipe for trouble. New drivers tend not to understand how dangerous driving is. That is why most parents chose to get their kids used cars because theres a 90% probability that they will get into an accident within the first few years of driving.

If I had seen some accountability in the guy's post regarding the accident, which is now deleted, I'd have said he learned his lesson, but I guess he's got to get into another accident to realize that he's not that good of a driver yet.

I did drop springs, sway bars, and end links as one of my first mods. I highly recommend it. It makes the car handle much better on the turns and it just looks way cooler too.

Handling! Then Power, then bigger brakes!

I say lowering springs.. You get the best of both worlds, better handling and looks.

Pedders bushings. Cant improve handling really until you replace the spongy stock bushings.

Not even. He should stick to riding his bicycle to school.

You should do safety upgrades first.
